That's a good one but my nominee is
Kentucky Rain -by Elvis
Some might say it aint country. Like hell it aint. That's one hell of a song.

Speaking of songs with Kentucky in the title that Elvis did, Blue Moon of Kentucky by Bill Monroe originally is a good one

Other noms:
On the Road Again (Willie)
Cotton Fields (CCR, Charley Pride etc)
Song of The South (Alabama)
Amarillo By Morning (George Strait),
A Country Boy Can Survive (Hank Jr)
Deeper Than The Holler (Randy Travis)
Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)
Friends In Low Places (Garth)
Where The Green Grass Grows (Tim McGraw)
Wagon Wheel (Bob Dylan, Old Crow Medicine Show, Darius Rucker)
I'm No Stranger To The Rain (Keith Whitley)
King of The Road (Roger Miller, many others)
Eastbound and Down (Jerry Reed)
Take Me Home Country Roads (John Denver)
any number of Hank Sr songs - if I had to name some I'd say Kaw-Liga, Move It On Over, Half As Much, Your Cheatin Heart, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Long Gone Lonesome Blues, Settin' The Woods on Fire, Jambalaya On The Bayou

The ease in which Merle sings this simple yet elegant song with his great voice has always amazed me. Probably not the Perfect Country Song, but this one is one of my favorites.

Somebody Lied by Ricky Van Shelton is like a spin-off.
